Gestern war also das lang erwartete Konzert von Grobschnitt in Osnabrück.

Über den Gesamteindruck bin ich mir noch nicht im Klaren, dazu werde ich gegebenenfalls später nochmals schreiben.

Heute möchte einen Neuzugang in der Blogosphere begrüssen: project: tableteer's last refuge.

Jetzt fehlen noch basilisk, olivers, joanna und yann :-)

after playing around a little bit with maemo inside scratchbox, i managed to break the packetsystem beyond repair... so i wanted to start again, but the maemo-sdk-install_4.0.sh told me:

E: You must close your other scratchbox sessions first

so... where to go from here?

http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2007-01-20.log.html knows it:

sb-conf killall

are the magic words. lets start again.

As i blogged before i'm going to be the happy (?) owner of a Nokia N810. On this device runs a Linux with a special distribution and there is also a Development SDK, which can be run on ia32-machines.

This SDK relies on Scratchbox, so i just downloaded and tried to install it. This works smoothly, they provide a shellscript, which downloads all needed components and feeds them to dpkg.

But, when i try to start Scratchbox i get

program. We will send your discount and instructions as soon as the
device is available in your selected shop (soon).

Ich interessiere mich zwar nur selten für das BILDblog, aber angesichts der Umstände spendiere ich hiermit mal einen Link gegen Awarenessblogger.

it sometimes funny, i'm working with mutt since about 10 years, (the 5 years before i was using elm) and just found out how i can view pure text/html-Mails without fiddeling with piping and things.

set implicit_autoview

in .muttrc does the trick.

but now mutt also prefers the text/html-part of multipart/alternative-mails, this is going to far for me. i want the text/plain-part if available. mutt has also a solution here:

alternative_order text/plain text/html

I have no idea how the other major MTAs handle this, but sendmail seems to issue an ident-auth-request on each connect it gets.

As i think this is rather useless, as most hosts don't answer it, and, even if they would, the answer is easily fakeable, i switched it off.

adding

define(`confTO_IDENT', `0')dnl

to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc disables this. Sadly this isn't documented, for confTO_IDENT it only states
